Ever wanted to help out with Mailman but didn't know how? Here's
your chance!
I've been trying to make the wiki into the one-stop-shop for Mailman
documentation, and as part of that process, I made a script that
moved the Mailman FAQ entries into the wiki.
http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Frequently+Asked+Questions
You'll see that there's around 200 entries in there now, organized
into sections as they were originally in the FAQ Wizard:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
I need some people who've got a few minutes to help out with cleaning
up the wiki FAQ entries. You don't need to know the answers -- I
just need some volunteers who can fix some links and maybe do some
organization. I don't need any huge time commitment, just sign up
for a wiki account and do an entry or two when you've got some spare
time.
Most of the pages just need someone to convert the FAQ Wizard links
to internal wiki links (eg: in http://wiki.list.org/x/PIA9), maybe
fix some other formatting (eg: look at http://wiki.list.org/x/p4A9
and how the preformatted stuff is inexplicably in three blocks rather
than one). It's an easy job, it's just that at 200 pages, I could
use some help!
If you have any questions or need any help getting started, please
let me know!

Terri, this is superfantastic! Thanks so much for doing this. Two
things:
- Does it make sense to turn off write permission on the FAQ wizard?
If we don't, the wiki will slowly get out of date. I think we can do
this easily by changing the password and maybe adding some pointers to
the wiki.
- Does it make sense to turn off write permission on the FAQ wizard?
- We should commit your script to the mailman-administrivia repository.
